Chapter 1: Deroku's Power
In Altiris High School, Deroku and Elecel were just chilling in the Senior pod, where only seniors were allowed. Anyone who was underclassed and entered the Senior area without supervision would get pummeled. "Uh… Derek? Why are we in the Senior pod again?," Elecel asked as he had fear in his eyes. Deroku replied, "Because I wanna ask Kimiko Lavender out on a date. She's the baddest girl in the school. Just looking at her makes me all jittery inside." Kimiko walked out of class in a pink dress waving at Deroku. Hearts were floating around his head as he was love-struck. Then, the school bully known as Rocky, walked away with Kimiko and kissed her on the lips.
Deroku growled with rage. "Ugh! I freakin' hate Rocky! All he does is pick on people whose below his rank and hit on the cheerleaders! I wish I could give him a taste of his own medicine, but how?" Deroku glowed a blue aura and a whitish-bluish dragon appeared around him. Elecel said, "Oh, crap. Derek, whatever you're about to do, don't freakin' do it. Rocky is way above our ranks! There's no chance in Hell that you can take him on!"
Deroku looked at Elecel and said, "C'mon, Elecel. I'm Derek to the freakin' Sanchez! Yo, Rock-head! Get your damn hands off of Kimiko! Kimiko, there's something I need to confess: I love you with all my heart's content. I wanna be with you. Nothing in this world can compare to your beauty, that's how much I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Kimiko was smitten by Deroku's words and said, "Derek, you're a sweet guy, plus, you're cute and smart and all, but I'm with Rocky. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." Deroku said with a sad look on his face, "It's ok, Kimiko. I don't blame you or your infinite beauty."
Rocky laughed evilly and punched Deroku in the stomach, causing him to fly across the other side of the hall. Maria saw what happened and punched Rocky in the face. As she came to Deroku's rescue, she asked him, "Derek, are you ok? If you're gonna fight someone, at least tell us. Lamera, Elecel, Kogura, Hirachino and I would be lost without you if something happened to you." Deroku had tears coming from his eyes as he got up slowly. The tear made a majestic dropping sound as Deroku clenched his fists with might. "You… you really mean that?," asked Deroku as he looked at Maria. Lamera hugged him, giggled and replied, "Of course, silly. You're our leader, and there's nothing in this world that's going to change that. We're the Uplix Fighters."
So as Rocky and Deroku prepared to battle, Rocky had a blackish-brownish aura surrounding him. Rocky charges at Deroku with super speed and repeatedly punches him in the face. Deroku wipes the little bit of blood off of his lip. "Damn, he's fast! At this rate, I won't be able to land a single blow on him." So as Deroku charged at Rocky, he misses every punch and kick. Rocky grabs him by the leg and jumps in the air while swinging him around. He slams Deroku to the ground. Deroku stayed silent for a good 30 seconds.
Rocky gloats evilly. "See?! I told you that a little dweeb like you is no match for me! Let that be a warning to you! The next time… no, wait! There won't be a next time… for you!" As Deroku got up, he quickly kicked Rocky in the dick and performed the Rounder Punch to his face. Rocky makes a heavy thud. He gets back up and yells, "Nice try, dork! But it's going to take a lot more than that to beat me." Deroku looked to the ground and thought of an idea. "Hey, Rocky! How about we put all of this mess…" As Deroku jumped in the air, he cocked back his fist and a dragon made of blue and white smoke came out. "On ice!" yelled Deroku.
Everyone was surprised on Deroku's skills of battle. Lamera cheered Deroku on along with the rest of his friends. "So what if you made the field icy? That doesn't mean that I'm going to kick your…," Rocky stated. He fell on the ground so hard, everyone laughed at him. The anger going through his veins increased. "ENOUGH! I WILL NOT BE HUMILIATED BY A LOW-CLASS DWEEB! NOW, WITNESS… MY ULTIMATE ATTACK! ROCK WRECKER OF DESTRUCTION!" As Rocky conjured up a huge boulder in the shape of a cobra, Deroku powered up and charged at the boulder. The boulder was hurled at Deroku, but the boulder multiplied by 3 and grew larger. Maria and the rest joined in, but Rocky grew stronger as if he were on steroids and took on Maria and easily defeated her in mere seconds.
Along with Elecel, Lamera, and Kogura, they were no match for him, but Hirachino stepped in and stated, "Leave my friend, Deroku, alone. If you want to fight someone, fight me instead. We're both Earthbound attributes, so let's make this interesting." Deroku asked, "Hirachino? When did you get here?" He replied, "I heard about your fight with Rocky. Trust me, even with your elemental advantage over him, that doesn't mean you can take him on."
So as Hirachino and Rocky prepared to fight, Hirachino took off his football gear and grew buffer. Fists were flying everywhere, kicks were being blocked, and they were evenly matched. "Heh, looks like we're evenly matched. It's like I can predict your moves just like you can predict mine. Strange, isn't it?" asked Hirachino. Rocky performed a backflip and kicked him in the chin. Hirachino got punched in the pressure point of the stomach. Deroku saw the epic defeat. As Hirachino blacked out, Deroku got angry and blue aura surrounded him. "Rocky! I'll never forgive you for hurting my friends, you bastard!"
"Heh, you got guts, dweeb, I'll give you that. But you won't survive my ultimate attack! Yaaaahhh!" As the 3 boulders were being hurled, Deroku got stronger and placed his hand in front of them. A highly pressure of water expelled out of Deroku's hand and trapped the boulders. Deroku blew his breath at the boulders and froze them, making them his own. "Let's finish this, Rocky!"
So as Deroku punched the boulders, they turned into ice shards. The shards flew at Rocky and stung him. "Augh! What the hell is happening to me?! I can't lose… especially to a dweeb like Derek!" Deroku chuckles and says, "Well, then. That teaches you not to mess with the Uplix Fighters. Now, witness my ultimate attack. AQUA DRAGON FIST!" A water dragon expels out of his fist and binds Rocky in an unbreakable hold. Deroku punches him with extreme force and slams him to the ground.
Rocky makes a thud on the ground as he is defeated. Everyone cheered for Deroku as he won the battle. "Oh, snap. It's Principal Edwards! Run!" As Principal Edwards saw Rocky, Maria, Lamera, Elecel, Hirachino and Kogura lying on the ground, he yells, "Derek Sanchez! Go to the office immediately! I will not tolerate such destructive behavior! You do not condone battles without notifying me! Do I make myself clear?!" "Yes, sir," said Deroku in a cracked voice. Later on that day, Maria and the rest were taken to the nurse's office for some rest. As Maria and the rest woke up, Deroku appeared in front of her and said, "Hey, sleepyhead. It's about time you all got up. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!"
Lamera said, "Congratulations on your victory, Derek! Finally, someone's taught that bully what for." Rocky calls Deroku over. "Derek! Come here!" Elecel said, "No! Don't do it, Derek! He'll try to attack you again!" Deroku laughs and says, "Trust me. I highly doubt he has any fight in that condition." So as Deroku approached Rocky, Rocky said to him, "Derek, I'm sorry for trying to hurt you. It's just that… while I was the school bully, I had power and authority over everyone. I had a lot of respect from everybody. Now that they witnessed my loss, I guess I'll just be the butt of everyone's joke."
Deroku smiles and says, "Hm. I forgive you, Rocky. But remember this: you don't need power and authority to have respect; you earn respect by trying to get to know someone. So… want to be friends and put this mess in the past?" Rocky smiles and shakes his hand. The days of Rocky's bullying were over. Kogura said, "Now that Rocky's done bullying for good, I guess that means that we can all relax and not worry about anyone messing with us." So as our other heroes rest, what other obstacles will they encounter?
Stay tuned :p
